Four Seasons Resort Marrakech

Four Seasons Resort Marrakech Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Four Seasons Resort Marrakech honestly feels like stepping into a modern Moroccan fairy tale. The five-star property sits in the Hivernage district, which — if you know Marrakech — puts you in this perfect sweet spot between the medina’s chaos and the city’s more contemporary side. I mean, you’re close enough to hear the call to prayer from the Koutoubia Mosque, but far enough away that you can actually get some sleep.

The Grounds and Setting

What really got me was how they’ve managed to create this oasis feeling without making it feel disconnected from Morocco itself. The resort sprawls across these beautifully landscaped gardens with the Atlas Mountains as your backdrop — and trust me, that view never gets old. You know what’s smart about the location? It’s literally across from the Menara Gardens, so you get this double dose of greenery that makes the whole area feel cooler and more serene than central Marrakech.

Accommodations That Actually Deliver

The room I stayed in was one of those spaces where every detail just works. The beds here are genuinely exceptional — I’m talking about the kind of sleep quality that makes you want to ask about their mattress supplier. Each accommodation feels like a private retreat with these gorgeous courtyards or terraces, and the bathrooms are basically mini spas with deep soaking tubs that overlook private gardens. The design strikes this perfect balance between Moroccan craftsmanship and Four Seasons’ signature comfort.

Dining and Daily Rhythms

Breakfast here is actually an event worth waking up for. They’ve got this incredible spread that covers everything from traditional Moroccan pastries to full English options, plus they handle dietary restrictions really well — vegan, gluten-free, halal, you name it. The main restaurant serves this elevated Moroccan cuisine that doesn’t feel touristy, and honestly, eating dinner on the terrace while watching the sunset over the Atlas Mountains is pretty magical. The spa deserves a mention too — it’s built around this traditional hammam concept but with all the luxury touches you’d expect.

Why Guests Love It

Here’s the thing about this place — couples absolutely love it, and I can see why. The whole property has this romantic, intimate vibe without being overly precious about it. Parking is free and private, which might sound mundane but is actually a huge relief when you’re dealing with Marrakech’s traffic. You’re a quick taxi ride from Jemaa el-Fnaa and the souks when you want that authentic medina experience, but you can retreat back to this peaceful bubble when the sensory overload gets too much. The service feels genuinely warm rather than just polished, and the staff actually knows the city well enough to give you solid recommendations beyond the obvious tourist spots.
